The color "Green" does NOT apply to the Greens"

Let me say 1st, that the staff at Hancock are GREAT!
Really friendly; very accommodating. And the golfing historical significance of Hancock is above reproach.
BUT-- ABSOLUTELY the WORST GREENS I'VE EVER SEEN!!!
Period.
The greens are so awful that there is little to no grass growing on them. There is literally way more sand, cracked black earth, dirt clods, grass clumps, and weeds on the green than grass. Sand traps on the greens?! C'mon.
So awful that the grounds crew has "carved out" makeshift temporary greens in the middle of the fairway. Have you ever tried putting on a fairway?!
Whatever your golfer's handicap is, give yourself an extra stroke on every hole for greens with absolutely no readability, consistency, or integrity.
Hancock was always one of my favorite courses before, but with the lack of proper greens maintenance over the past few months, it has moved way way down my list.
Every round played there should
be heavily heavily discounted until the green issue is sorted out. Otherwise, it's just sad from a golf and an horticultural standpoint. Sad though that Hancock doesn't offer Hot Deals anymore. So you're paying full price to play the worst greens in North America.
